Pink - Family Portrait

Momma please stop cryin, I can't stand the soundYour pain is painful and it's tearin' me downI hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bedI told dad you didn't mean those nasty things you said

You fight about money, 'bout me and my brotherAnd this I come home to, this is my shelterIt ain't easy growin up in World War threeNever knowin what love could be, you'll seeI don't want love to destroy me like it has done my family

Can we work it out? Can we be a family?I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anythingCan we work it out? Can we be a family?I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave

Daddy please stop yellin, I can't stand the soundMake mama stop cryin', 'cause I need you aroundMy mama she loves you, no matter what she says its trueI know that she hurts you, but remember I love you, too

I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran awayDon't wanna go back to that place, but don't have no choice, no wayIt ain't easy growin' up in World War threeNever knowin' what love could be, well I've seenI don't want love to destroy me like it did my family

Can we work it out? Can we be a family?I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anythingCan we work it out? Can we be a family?I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave
